Sanjeeda Shaikh recalls being molested by a woman; says, “She just touched my br**st and left”

Known for her strong roles on screen and off screen, Sanjeeda Shaikh opened up about an incident that left her scarred. The actress, who has been receiving immense praises for her role as the courtesan Waheeda in the recently released Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar, is also appreciated for speaking her heart out and recently she made a confession wherein she talked about being eve-teased by a woman and how it impacted her.

Recalling the incident during her interaction with Hauterfly, Sanjeeda Shaikh revealed that she was molested by a woman at a public place and how she was left in complete shock. “I remember one incident very vaguely but it was by a woman. I was in a nightclub. One woman was passing by and she just touched my br**st and she left. I was kind of taken aback, like what just happened. We hear men smack you on the back and they misbehave, ladkiyaan koi kum nahi hai (Women are no less),” she said.

She went on to add, “If you are headed on the wrong path, you are going on it regardless. It has nothing to do with men or women, whatever is wrong is wrong. If a woman has wronged you, tell her. Because I think playing the victimhood card is very unattractive.”

Sanjeeda Shaikh plays the role of the jealous Waheeda who is also the sister of the Heeramandi ruler Mallikajaan aka Manisha Koirala, and decides to wage a war against her own sister to get her rights and power.
